Chapter 4 Enough Dead People

Brother Qi opened the magazine and smoothed out the folds with his big palm.This action was inexplicably gentle, and Cheng Tianlu felt that his temper had been calmed down a bit.He restrained his emotions and wanted to say a few polite words so that everyone could step down.Before the words came out, Brother Qi took the lead in speaking slowly:

"How to kill people in the mine has already been written, and there is nothing to shoot. But it took me a long time to understand this sentence."

All day long, I saw his fingers resting on a line of words.This is a sentence that Cheng Tianlu scribbled out with a pen—the wormhole in this big report.

"The village is gone, no one can go back."

Cheng Tianlu was stunned.This sentence has no beginning and no end, and there is really no context.I didn't write it down because he couldn't find anything about the "disappeared village". This is not only a wormhole, but also a loophole in the interview.What if the murderer wasn't talking crazy? What if the head teacher, the whole village, the records of the state agency, and the entire historical memory were the ones crazy?Then the childhood and growth experience he stated in the report will raise a lot of question marks.

Brother Qi didn't pick any words, but picked out this bug!And such a simple sentence, why did he "take a long time to understand", he is illiterate and can't be so confident.

Brother Qi went on to say: "You haven't written this story, have you? We can make up whatever we want, right editor?"

"I just recorded what he said. After follow-up investigations, there is no 'disappeared village' at all. This matter is fake-er, you can't say that the movie is also fake. No matter how fake the movie is, it must have a basis in reality, that The village is lying in a big valley, with more than 200 people, if you say it’s gone, will it be gone?”

Ling Lingjiu and Xini: "That's easy, just change the name of the village. Let's make up a fake village, and then "bang bang bang bang" to make it disappear. Editor, don't be too serious, we are a big country Is there not much that suddenly disappears in the city, a person, a company, a village, it’s normal if it’s gone, it’s gone!”

At this moment, Tang Weiqin left the meeting room without saying a word, only hearing a "boom".As if in response to Ling Lingjiu's words, he disappeared automatically, but to everyone, this didn't seem to be a big deal.Even Cheng Tianlu just sighed secretly: This Tang Weiqin has too much self-esteem, if he wants to collect money from local tyrants, it's useless to put on airs.He has to learn from Brother Qi in this point, and fool Uncle Hai into a submissive one.

Once Tang Weiqin left, Cheng Tianlu couldn't protect him anymore.He hates iron but not steel, but this matter is a foregone conclusion, Cheng Tianlu had no choice but to accept the reality, and asked Brother Qi helplessly: "There is only such a sentence in the report, how do you make it into a 100-minute film?"

"One sentence is enough to make up a story. Only seventeen people died at the bottom of the well; if a village is completely wiped out, how many people will die?"

Ling Lingjiu answered the words skillfully: "The editor said that there are at least 200 people in a village! Hey, this is a bit interesting."

Cheng Tianlu complained in his heart: Are there many people who only watch death when you two make movies?He looked at Uncle Hai in a blink of an eye, hoping that he would have a sense of protection for his property and not lose his hard-earned money to these two guys.

But Hai Ye looked at them with a smile, and said in an old father's loving tone: "It's better to die more people, how do you want to die, you two talk, money is not a problem, if you want to throw bombs or poison gas, no matter how you die, I will die." support unconditionally.”

Cheng Tianlu felt that he had strayed into the planning meeting of the terrorists.

He decided to draw a clear line with these people, turned his head to look at Xiao Dongli, and said in a slightly louder voice than usual: "Xiao Er, you said make me coffee, where did you go?"

After this script discussion meeting, Cheng Tianlu felt that making a movie became more and more unreliable.It's just that no matter whether he agrees with it or not, the film is considered to be in the beginning, and it has officially started.Brother Qi went to the screenwriter to write the script, while Cheng Tianlu returned to the daily affairs of the magazine, and the two parties no longer communicated.

Chengtianlu didn't put down the stalls like Tang Weiqin did. Some things must not give an inch, and others should be sloppy.He didn't have much interest in making movies, and those two weirdos were going to come up with another story, just right!The best story becomes that aliens invade and destroy the earth, then it has nothing to do with the name "Chengtian Road".

Just out of responsibility, he took the time to read the introduction of Qi Geer's works.On an authoritative scoring website, he searched a surprising number of Qi Geer's movies.

As expected, the ratings are low, and the word-of-mouth is polarized. People who hate him call him crude and bloody, but some people like him. They think his films are hardcore, not sensational, and bloody.The content of the film is generally simple and crude. Given the style of Qi Geer and Ling Lingjiu's chatting, Cheng Tianlu concluded that the story is basically a presentation of the two violent and perverted imaginations. The screenwriter is responsible for breaking up the scene and writing a few lines .

There are indeed a lot of people who died. Someone counted the death scenes in Brother Qi's film, which is simply an encyclopedia of tricks to die.Cheng Tianlu wanted to open Brother Qi's movie and take a look at the synopsis, but decided not to waste precious time.

Now he only hopes that the general manager of the group can clear his mind and get out of this project in time.

Cheng Tianlu went to the editorial room with the signed pages, walked a few steps in the corridor, the incandescent lights flickered a few times, it seemed that there was going to be a strike again.

Since that day, there have been several power outages in the building.The wires are badly aged, and changing the lights and getting a new switch won't fix the problem at all.

Cheng Tianlu was in a gloomy mood, just like the current situation of magazines, paper media is not read by many people, in-depth reports are not as good as snippets of information popping up everywhere, the masses want the information to the flesh, fast and ruthless, every hit Can poke pain points or pleasure.No matter how the editorial policy is changed, it is essentially a state of decline.

Stacks of magazines lay next to the copier.The distribution department puts new magazines at the entrance of the editorial department every week for reporters and editors to pick them up. Over time, the entire wall is piled up.

Cheng Tianlu picked up a new magazine and flipped through it twice, then put it on the copier, bent over to read a line of words carefully.A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: when he met Brother Qi a few days ago, he must have read a magazine in this posture.Could that man really be able to see in the dark? !

He shook his head quickly, trying to shake Geer Qi away from his mind.That person is abnormal, what's the point of thinking about his dark skills?

At this time, he suddenly heard a subtle "Zi-Zi-" sound.The rhythm of this voice is slender, but it is very tenacious, like a small bug that perseveres into the ear, and must reach the person's head.Disturbed for a while, he squatted down to look for the source of the sound.He removed a large stack of magazines, and found a flashing mobile phone in the corner of the copier against the wall.

In the middle of the green screen of the mobile phone, there is a fluctuating yellow line, like a heart rate measuring machine.

Strange all day long, he picked up the phone and looked around.The old-fashioned machine, the simple body, can't see the clues.The machine made a small sound of "Zi-Zi-", and after passing by for a long time all day long, it suddenly occurred to me that this was the ringtone of an incoming call.

He answered the phone casually.

"Hey?"

Silence on the other end of the phone.

"anyone there?"

There was a "Jie Jie" laugh on the other end of the phone.Cheng Tianlu almost threw the phone away!It's not a human voice at all.

The voice: "Planet 276 called the ground base. I searched for a long time, and finally someone received my signal, so fucking lucky!"

Cheng Tianlu took a deep breath.His mental quality is excellent, and he has calmed down after a while.As soon as he thought about it, he knew that the person talking to him must be a human being. How could the aliens wandering in the universe talk so much?There is clearly a voice changer installed in the phone.He is the only one who can do such perverted and boring things.

"The base received it. What's your business on 276?"

"I'm too bored here, so I need someone to talk to. Brother base, are you always on duty at this time?" Cheng Tianlu was amused: "Brother Qi, you really have a brain problem! Throwing a mobile phone here is scary, is it fun?" .”

Brother Qi on the other end of the phone: "I didn't throw this away on purpose, you touched it. I called for several days and was finally found."

"You're really lucky. There's usually no one around this copier. Even if someone is copying something here, you can't hear the volcano erupting when the machine is running. Come to the base to get it yourself when you have time!"

"I'm not free. Forget it, this is my spare phone. It's not very useful at ordinary times. You can take it first."

Cheng Tianlu immediately refused: "Your phone rings so fucking scary, it's annoying to ring, if you don't bother to take it, I'll express it to you."

"I haven't given this mobile phone number to anyone else, it won't ring."

"Then what are you doing with this phone?" Cheng Tianlu thought that brother Qi really belonged to planet 276, why didn't he have any normal thinking of an earthling.

"Did you see the yellow radio waves on your phone? This is used to search for information about intelligent creatures in outer space. If the fluctuations are abnormal, it means that aliens are contacting us." These words were serious, but Cheng Tianlu couldn't help laughing: " Alright, if Planet 278 or Planet 999 calls, I will notify you."

"Thanks for your hard work, comrade! I'm going out to patrol, see you later!"

Brother Qi just hung up the phone.

Holding the phone all day long, it took a while before he came back to his senses.He smiled helplessly and put the phone in his pocket.Somehow, he became the custodian of this alien biodetector—is it abnormally contagious?
